All,
Friend of mine just bought her first Miata, and it need new tires badly. Of course I'm recommending the Toyo T1-R, but she might not wish to spend that much. She found a very good deal on the Bridgestone Potenza RE960, but I know nothing about that tire. Anyone used that one before?
Any other suggestions for a decent street tire? Falkens? She has the 14" wheels, and I don't see much hi-performance driving in her future...
Gracias!

two 14" sizes
I read the write-up. And a good deal with the $75 rebate. Just looking for practical experience or other suggestions...Quote:

I would suggest something that would help her handle rain. If it is her DD, then she wants the safest tire she can buy, IMHO. Something along the summer tire with high wet marks, maybe?
I think I would by these for a daily driver. Hard to beat the price and the reviews are consistantly great.

I bought a set of these last fall for my DD and have really liked them. Can't say I've driven in a lot of rain but they seem to perform pretty well on wet pavement but YMMV. A great tire for the price IMHO.Quote:

Too bad no 195/50/15 though.
They have the 50s they just have a slightly shorter warranty.Quote:

Thanks Paul, may try those for Barbara's '92.
I had the Falken 912's on my 1990 DD for about 1.5 years driving a 40 mile round trip to work. I was surprised how well they handled in the rain. I had 195/50 15's on 2000 Miata wheels.
